Here she sings her powerful lament about the ancient city of Timbuktu, under assault by religious fundamentalists:

THIS IS MY LAND
This is Timbuktu, my home land,
Where the children are mourning from gloom,
This is my land, Timbuktu «the Maliba»,
The land of love,
The land of warmth,
The land of dignity,
Here is my Nation…
Why are we crying?
Why are the children crying?
Why are the young crying?
Cause of unfairness,
Cause of violence,
Fearing the future…
Here is my home
Stop crying
Cause no matter what, Timbuktu will remain

Bla Xit Family, we have had many inquiries about Medium and Large investment opportunities in Realty and Property pre development. So in answer to your questions we went to see the Amb****ador at Large for Investment and Business for The Republic of the Gambia Mr Modou Lamin Sima. He was so accommodating and wonderful even offering us a sumptuous feast of my favorite Gambian food including Findi. He told us about some project but the one that interested us the most was his very own one. We went to Kairaba Avenue, Westfields an excellent location in the heart of a business center that is central to every facility beaches and commercial business and banks. It is off the main road and close to a local stadium used by local people. He plans to build an apartment block housing 32 rooms with a potential expansion opportunity it has mainly 2 bedroom apartments and 3 single rooms . Each apartment will be fully furnished and will have a Living room with TV and two bedrooms and two en-suite bathrooms, with air conditioning, Wifi etc. And investment opportunity including commercial business opportunities below including a mini market and restaurant and laundry facility.

Proud Rastafarian Professor, Poet Laurete Author , world renown Musician, TV Host Actor and Free West Papua activist, Multiple award winning Benjamin Zephaniah. Who is no stranger to controversy and was hailed a hero in the black community in England when he refused and rejected an award from the Empire the Queen. He appeared on mainstream TV this week in the UK and he talked about hoe he originated from West Africa but did not know where and Reparations, he said he was taken.
